Babich Family Estates

Soft and gentle fragrances of Gewurztraminer unfurl slowly with aromas of white peach and nectarine, baked apple, gentle rose and soft tropical fruit nuances, white spices and a light stone/earth quality. On the palate - soft at first then the spice level increases dramatically helped along with some warming alcohol; just dry with a whisper of residual sugar; flavours fleshy white stone fruit, some floral and tropical layers, medium acidity,medium weight and lengthy finish. A lovely example of a variety that is well suited to food though equally at home on its own by the glass.
